Welcome Home, Nick!

Published May 16, 2013 | Posted in Military

There are really no words to describe the joy felt when your loved one is welcomed back from a deployment to places all over the globe.

When Nick left last fall, Jenifer was pregnant with their first child, and gave birth late last year. I can’t imagine how it must’ve felt for the three of them to be joined as a family for the first time, but I was happy to capture that moment for this precious family.

Welcome home to Nick and the rest of the Marines and Sailors of the 15th MEU! We’re so glad to have you back!!

xoxo,

Lauren

The Kirk Family

Published May 12, 2013 | Posted in Families

Photographing other photographers and their families can be super stressful but also incredibly rewarding. :) I joined up with a handful other local photographers to do portrait swaps, and below are some of my favorites of the session we did of the Kirk family in Old Poway Park!

Chrissie is a fellow Marine wife, a super mom, and the photographer and brains behind Bella Luce Photography. Her two boys were total hams during the session, so it was a blast!

Thank you to Chrissie and her family for allowing us to photograph you!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, my grandmothers, Chrissie, and all other moms out there! May your day be filled with love!

xoxo,

Lauren

Welcome Home, Travis!

Published May 8, 2013 | Posted in Military

Have I mentioned how much I love photographing homecomings for my fellow military families??

This was my first homecoming to capture at the San Diego Airport, which was a little different than what I’m used to, but no less exciting for the families who welcomed back their loved ones that day! Jill is such a sweetheart and a total super woman, so I was ecstatic to meet her and photograph her husband’s arrival from a long deployment!

Little A wasn’t feeling well the day before Travis’ return, but had a huge smile on his face once daddy arrived! Take a look at some of my favorite images from this amazing family’s reunion.

Thank you, Jill, Travis, and little A, for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you!

xoxo,

Lauren

Amanda & Dom – La Jolla Proposal

Published May 1, 2013 | Posted in Engagements, Portraits

He popped the question and she said yes!!

Congratulations to Amanda and Dom on your engagement tonight! I’m so honored that I was able to capture your proposal in La Jolla with the help of the fabulous Grace of La Reine des Macarons! Grace did a superb job of finding the perfect spot for Dom, and of setting the scene with her delicious macarons! Amanda had apparently been talking about macaroons for weeks, and Dom thought it would be the perfect ending to a dinner at George’s at the Cove. Dom’s cousin, Bill, was in on the whole scheme and helped Grace along the way.

Congratulations again, Amanda and Dom!

xoxo,

Lauren
